| A Jewish Meal at the White House
Ariel Sharon came to Washington for meetings with George W.
and for a State dinner. Laura Bush decided to bring in a special
Kosher chef and have a truly Jewish meal. At the dinner that
night, the first course served is matzoh ball soup. George W.
looks at this and after learning what it is called, he tells an aide
that he can't eat such a gross and strange-looking brew. The aide
says that Mr. Sharon will be insulted if he doesn't at least
taste it.
Not wanting to cause any trouble (after all, he ate sheep's
eye in honor of Arab guests), George W. gingerly lowers his
spoon into the bowl and retrieves a piece of matzoh ball and
some broth. He hesitates, then swallows. A big grin appears on
his face. He finds that he really likes it, and digs right in and
finishes the whole bowl. "That was delicious," Bush
says to Sharon. "Do Jews eat any other part of the matzoh, or just
the balls?" |
